CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Kenan
T HE MUSIC THUMPS THROUGH the speakers as I stand up on the balcony watching Onyx and Beck dancing together, having the time of their lives down below. Cara and her best friend Stacy are close to them and I just watch everything. Cara and Stacy lock hands over their head and move towards the bathroom. Keeping my eyes on my two lovers down below, I continue watching until my sister disappears into the bathroom.
The song changes to some upbeat dance song that I haven’t the slightest clue as to what it is, but the crowd seems to be excited, cheering as they all move to the beat.
A man walks into the women’s bathroom and I go flying down the stairs, pushing my way through the crowd to grab Onyx and Beck. “Follow me.” I snarl, grabbing Beck’s hand, dragging them behind me as I make my way to the bathroom.
Just as I get to the door, it flies open and the guy backs out with his hands up, reaching for him, I spot Cara with a gun pointed at his face. “I’m so sorry! I was in a hurry, didn’t realize it was the women’s bathroom.”
“Dylan!” Onyx shouts, running up to the man.
“Madam.” He replies, making my eye twitch. If he’s calling her madam, then he’s one of her fucking customers.
“What are you doing here? This doesn’t seem like your kind of thing.” Onyx chats him up while Cara, Stacy, Beck, and I just watch.
“Cara, this is Dylan.”
I clear my throat. “Oh, we’ve met.” Cara glares daggers at him.
“Again. I’m so sorry.” Dylan takes a step towards Onyx. Tonight is not his night, if he so much as brushes against her, he’s going to be missing a few teeth. Reaching out, I pull Onyx towards me, pushing her into Beck’s arms. “I just,” he sighs, looking so defeated. “I’m sorry.” He mumbles again.
“He’s like a lost little puppy!” Cara puts her gun in her purse and I stiffen, hearing her call him that. She walks up and pinches his cheek. “Come on Dylan, let’s get you a drink.”
“Don’t call him that.” I whisper in my sister's ear as she steps next to me. She winks up at me and nods, Stacy loops her arm in Dylan’s and drags him along. “Good luck with that!” I shout to the poor bastard.
Turning to look at Onyx, she gives me a little miss innocent smile. “A customer of yours?”
“Oh no!” She shakes her head, “He well, uh, worked for me.” She lets out a nervous laugh as Beck chews on his lip nervously.
“How so?” I ask, clenching my fists at my side, fighting the urge to slam her against the wall and fuck her so everyone knows who she belongs to.
“He was my bodyguard when I worked with my clients. He needed money and a friend sent him to me. He’s super chill and knows how to keep a secret, not to mention he’s a total cinnamon roll.” That’s it, I can’t let her out of my sight or grasp again. I grab her at the waist and throw her over my shoulder and take Beck’s hand, pushing my way to the door so we can leave.
I stop at the bar spotting Cara, “Keep my tab and close it out. Will you be fine here?” I ask eying Dylan.
“I’m fine bro, go spank that ass and show her who’s boss!” She cheers as I turn away, taking them both out to the sidewalk. The good thing about this club is that it’s not too far from my favorite place.
I put Onyx in the backseat and Beck climbs in beside her as I move around to the driver’s seat. I white knuckle the steering wheel and pull away going to the only place that could possibly calm me down right now.
When I pull into the abandoned parking lot, I shut the car off and climb out, hearing Onyx asking Beck what’s happening. Beck doesn’t answer as he climbs out of the car.
“Out.” I snap, reaching in to take her hand, yanking her out as she stumbles in the shoes my sister let her borrow. “Take those off.”
“No. This is gravel.” She shouts, yanking her arm out of my hand. “Tell me what we’re doing here!” She shouts. I bend down, grab her ankle and lift her foot, ripping one shoe off and then repeat with the other one. She’s hitting me on the back, trying to fight me off, but I’m too wrapped up in my anger. I knew what she was into, I fucking knew, but seeing someone who has seen her like that has ripped the sheet from out of under me, and I feel like my world is off kilter. I need to focus and put this all back into perspective.
I feel Beck moving beside me, “Are you sure about this?” He asks.
“You’re playing too!” I snarl as he takes a step back when I stand up. “Shoes.” I tell him. He kicks out of his shoes, pulls his belt and tie off, throwing them into the car.
“Sir.” Beck starts unbuttoning the top few buttons and untucks his shirt. “What role am I playing?” He bows his head.
“Prey.”
Onyx gasps. “I will not be your prey running through those fucking woods without my shoes.”
I snatch her by the throat, “I’ll strip you of your clothes and fuck you here first against the car if you don’t run, then when I’m finished. I’ll still make you run little lamb.” I lick up the side of her face, tasting the salty tears that fall down her cheek.
I release her and she coughs, clutching at her throat. “Yes Sir.” She rasps.
“You get three seconds, and then I’m coming after you. You decide now if you’re splitting up or helping each other. Whoever I catch, I will fuck you into the ground so hard you won’t remember your name.” I warn. They stand there, staring at me, “Run!” I shout, they both jump and run past me, turning to watch, I see Onyx grab Beck’s hand as they disappear into the tree line.
“Three!” My voice booms out as I bounce on my toes, ready to hunt them down.
“Two!” I shout, rolling my neck and shoulders.
“One!” I crack my knuckles and dig my feet into the ground, pushing off to chase them through the woods. I jump over a fallen branch and land with a huff as I look around, listening to my surroundings.
Snapping my head to the left, I hear some leaves or sticks crunching and take off in that direction. I can see someone not too far in front of me, the faster I run, the clearer the person becomes. Beck. Where’s Onyx? I look around chasing after him, gaining on him until he’s almost within my grasp. I hear him laugh as he pushes harder pulling ahead of me just enough so I can’t grab him.
When I reach out for him again, my fingers grab his shirt, yanking him back into me as our bodies slam together, I land on top of him, using my hands and legs to lock him down under me he smiles up at me. “You.” I rip his shirt open as he buck his hips up trying to knock me off. “Are.” I slip a hand around his throat, bending over to place a quick kiss on his lips. “Mine.” I suck his bottom lip into my mouth, letting his lip slide through my teeth.
